Ch.14 The Origin of Belle

Belle looked at Harper with wide eyes.

"Your…Your my biological mom?", asked Belle

"Yes", replied Harper

"Why?"

"Why, what?"

"WHY WOULD YOU GET RID OF ME?!"

"You see I-"

"WAS I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?! DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?"

"No"

"THEN WHY?!"

"I WAS ONLY SIXTEEN!"

Harper ran out of the room. A few minutes later, she came back holding a picture frame.

"When I was sixteen, I had a great life", explained Harper "I had good grades, many friends, and was popular. I even had a great coltfriend. His name was Shiny Bronze"

Harper showed Belle a picture of her teenage self and a young brown earth pony stallion with a blond mane with a basketball as his cutie mark.

"We were always inseperable. One day, I got an internship from Octavia Melody, so we decided to…celebrate.", explained Harper "A few months later, I found out I was pregnant with you. When I told Bronze, he broke up with me, and told me he wants nothing to do with me or you."

Harper started to have tears in her eyes.

"A few months later, you were born", cried Harper "At first, I was doing great at raising you, but then it started to get difficult. My grades started dropping and nopony would be my friend. I also lost my internship with Octavia after she found out about my pregnancy. I didn't know what else to do, so I gave you up."

Suddenly, Harper hugged Belle and started crying.

"IM SORRY! IM SORRY! IM SO SO SORRY! IM REALLY SORRY I GAVE YOU UP AND GAVE YOU A HORRIBLE LIFE!", cried Harper

"I forgive you", said Belle

"You, what?"

"I forgive you. I had a pretty good life, up until now. And now that I found you, we can be together like Mother and Daughter"

"Actually, I-"

"Mommy?", said a voice

Harper turned around and saw an orange unicorn colt about Posh Print's age with a white mane.

"Crescendo, what are you doing up?", asked Harper picking up the colt

"I had a nightmare", said Crescendo

"Who's that?", asked Belle

"A few years after I had you, I needed money to support myself so I had to take desperate measures. This is my son, Crescendo, who is also your half brother"

"I have a brother?"

Harper nodded. Suddenly, Belle grabbed Crescendo and started hugging him

"HE'S SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE THAT IM GONNA DIE", said Belle

"Can't…breathe", stammered Crescendo

Belle let go of Crescendo.

"I have a brother about your age", said Belle "His name is Posh Print"

"He's that pony who stood up to Royal Jewel and Bling Bling", said Crescendo

"My brother did that?"

"Yeah, he's a cool dude"

"You know, I kinda miss him…and my parents"

"I think you know what you should do", said Harper

"Yeah"

Belle, Harper, and Crescendo walked to the Carousal Boutique. Harper knocked on the door, and Rarity opened it. Her hair was messy and she was wearing her pink robe.

"BELLE YOUR BACK", cried Rarity hugging her

"We were so worried about you", said Trend

"Don't you ever run away again"

Suddenly, Print ran downstairs.

"Mom, Dad, what's going…BELLE'S BACK"

Belle hugged Print. Then, Rarity turned to Harper

"Is there anyway we can repay you?", asked Rarity

"You raising her into the mare she is is payment enough", said Harper

She and Crescendo walked away, and Rarity and Trend looked at Belle.

"Who was she?", asked Trend

"Nopony", lied Belle

"Well we have some good news to offer", said Rarity "How would you like to go to the Grand Galloping Gala next year?"

"YOU MEAN IT?!", asked Belle

"Mm-Hm"

"YES YES YES"

Belle jumped up and hugged Rarity.

"Tell her the other thing", said Print

"What other thing?", asked Belle

"Were having another foal", announced Rarity
